| Specific Ephithet | |
| A kingdom of usually multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophs and have important roles in nutrient cycling in an ecosystem. Fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually, and they also have symbiotic associations with plants and bacteria. | Fungi |
| single-celled micro-organisms with structures similar to bacteria. They are evolutionarily distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes and form the third domain of life. | Archaea |
| Microscopic, single-celled organisms that thrive in diverse environments. Can live in soil, the ocean and inside the human gut. Can affect humans both beneficially and non-beneficially. | Bacteria |
| The process by which a species becomes fitted to its environment; it is the result of natural selection's acting upon heritable variation over several generations. | Adaptation |
| A vertebrate animal of a class distinguished by having a dry scaly skin and typically laying soft-shelled eggs on land. | Reptile |
| A warm-blooded vertebrate animal of a class that is distinguished by the possession of hair or fur, females that secrete milk for the nourishment of the young, and (typically) the birth of live young. | Mammal |
| A limbless cold-blooded vertebrate animal with gills and fins living solely in water. | Fish |
| Small vertebrates that need water, or a moist environment, to survive. All can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin. Also have special skin glands that produce useful proteins. | Amphibian |
| A structural layer surrounding some types of cells, just outside the cell membrane. Can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. Provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism. | Cell wall |
| Organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments. In contrast to phototrophs, which use solar energy. | Chemotroph |
| An organism that consists of a single cell, unlike a multicellular organism that consists of multiple cells. | Unicellular |
| A tissue, organ or organism that is made up of many cells. | Multicellular |
| Organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Absorbs sunlight and uses it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant. | Chloroplast |
| A green photosynthetic pigment found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Absorbs mostly in the blue and to a lesser extent red portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, hence its intense green colour. | Chlorophyll |
| Type of reproduction which does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise from this reproduction from a single cell or from a multicellular organism inherit the genes of that parent. | Asexual Reproduction |
| The production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different sex. | Sexual Reproduction |
| A chemical reaction that takes place inside a plant, producing food for the plant to survive. Uses carbon dioxide, water and light. Happens in the leaves of a plant. | Photosynthesis |
